It is more than 120 miles from Zengtou City to Lingzhou Prefecture. Hua Ju and Liu Bo and others arrived around the afternoon and the hour of You.

After entering the city of Lingzhou, Hua Ju did not immediately go to the prefect of Lingzhou, but asked Liu Bo to inquire about the reputation of Lingzhou prefect, Tongzong, Military Commander, and the regiment training envoy.

Only then did he know how to meet them.

Liu Bo went to inquire and said, "The prefect of Lingzhou is Zhang Xinwen, who is fifty-one years old. He came to Lingzhou three years ago to take office. Although he had never done anything great, he had never bullied the people.

He is well-behaved, and the people still agree with him very much.

The magistrate of Lingzhou is Fu Huaisheng. He is 45 years old this year. He was born in a Jinshi. He took office two years ago and has no bad reputation.

The military commander named Ning Yue, who was forty years old, was quite upright and his soldiers were very regular. He had never robbed the people with troops.

There were two troupe training envoys in Lingzhou, one was named Shengshui general Shan Tinggui, and the other was named Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo. These two troupe trained with good martial arts, were upright and never oppressed the people. The bandits came here several times.

Lingzhou caused troubles by relying on their retreating bandits, so they are deeply loved by the people of Lingzhou."

The Holy Water General Shan Tinggui, and the Divine Fire General Wei Dingguo!

Hua Ju was shocked and thought, "Yes, why did I forget it? Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo and others are in Lingzhou. These two are also generals, and they are proficient in fire attack and water soaking weapons. If they help them

, why worry about not breaking Zengtou City.”

Thinking of this, he said, "Let's go and find Prime Minister Zhang."

The group came to the door of the magistrate Zhang's house. Hua Ju got off the horse and asked Liu Bo to knock on the door. Soon someone opened the door and asked, "Who are you leaving?"

"Let's find Prime Minister Zhang." Liu Bo said.

The person who opened the door looked at them and asked, "Who are you?"

Liu Bo said, "We came from Tokyo Bianliang. My son has something to do to meet your magistrate."

"Dare you ask your son's surname?"

"The surname is Hua." Liu Bo said.

"Please go and report later."

Hua Ju waited outside for about five or six minutes. The door opened. A man in his early fifties led a few servants out, looked at Hua Ju, and asked, "Is this Mr. Hua?"

“That’s right.”

The man quickly stepped forward to see the greeting, then turned sideways to the gate and said, "Please please inside, young master."

When Hua Jue entered the mansion, the man took him to the inner hall, sent all the servants around him out, and then knelt down on the ground and said, "Secretary of Lingzhou, Zhang Xinwen, pay homage to Lord Hua."

"Mr. Zhang, don't be too polite, get up quickly." Hua Ju said.

After Zhang Xinshu got up, he asked Hua Ju to sit down. Hua Ju said, "Mr. Zhang, I came to you today to ask you for help."

Zhang Xinshu said: "My lord must not say that. Your Majesty has sent a secret decree. During his time in Lingzhou, all things in Lingzhou were responsible for by the Lord. Let the Lord cooperate with him with him. Therefore, if you have any questions, please give me instructions.

That's it."

Hua Ju said: "That is the secret decree of Your Majesty, why should I come to Ningzhou Prefecture?"

"This Majesty did not explain in the secret decree, but only said that the subordinates would obey the orders of the masters." Zhang Xinshu said.

Hua Ju knew that Huizong must have been afraid of leaking the news, so he did not say it out. He immediately told Zhang Xinshu about Zengtou City as a hidden force in the Jin Kingdom and his purpose of coming this time.

"The Zeng family in Zengtou City is actually a spy from the Jin Kingdom." Zhang Xinshu was surprised.

Hua Ju said: "Today we

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I have already fought with Zengtou City, but Zengtou City's terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you attack from the front, you will suffer a great loss. Only by cooperating inside and outside can you avoid major casualties.

So I came here to ask the adults to send troops to cooperate. I should cooperate with the outside world.”

Zhang Xinshu said: "If you want to do whatever you want, please give me instructions. The subordinates will cooperate with you with all their strength."

Hua Ju said: "In the battle this morning, Zengtou City suffered a great loss, so I will definitely come to Lingzhou to invite you to rescue soldiers. At that time, you will send two regiments, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo, to lead troops into Zengtou City as internal responses.

When we attack Zengtou City, we should cooperate with us to eliminate Zengtou City.”

"Don't worry, sir, I will do my job as I am." Zhang Xinshu said.

Hua Ju then said, "Mr. Zhang, please send someone to invite Dantuanlian and Weituanlian. I want to meet them first and talk to them in person."

"Yes, I will send someone to call them now."

Zhang Xinshu immediately sent two people to call Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo. After about half an hour, two burly and extraordinary generals walked in from outside. When they saw Zhang Xinshu, they bowed at the same time and said, "I am not in charge of Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo."

Have met an adult."

Zhang Xinshu said: "Shan Tuanlian, Wei Tuanlian, I called you to introduce someone to you."

"I don't know who it is?"

Zhang Xin said to Hua Ju, "This is Lord Hua, the commander of the Guards."

Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were shocked. At the same time, he looked at Hua Ju. Shan Tinggui said: "It is to defeat the imperial guards, beat Liao envoys in the Jin Palace, and take over the corrupt official Wei Mao's commander of the guards.

!”

"Yes, it's right here." Hua Ju said.

Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo knelt down at the same time, "I am not in charge of Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, pay homage to Lord Hua."

Hua Ju said: "Two generals, please get up quickly."

"Sir Xie."

After standing up, Shan Tinggui said, "I have heard of the deeds of the adults for a long time, and I admire them very much. However, I am located in Lingzhou and far away from the capital, so I have no chance to meet the adults. Today, I am able to meet the adults for three lives.

Lucky.”

Hua Ju smiled and said, "I am also lucky to be able to meet the two generals in my life."

"I wonder, what's wrong with coming to Lingzhou this time?" Wei Dingguo asked.

Hua Ju pointed to the chair and said, "Come on, let's sit down and talk."

After the four of them sat down together, Hua Jue told the whole story about the consequences of this visit to Lingzhou. Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui immediately stood up and said, "The spies in the Jin Kingdom dared to cause trouble in secret in our Song Dynasty. We both immediately took the lead.

The soldiers will destroy Zengtou City.”

Hua Ju waved her hand gently and said, "The terrain of Zengtou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is very difficult to defend. Strong attack will cause great losses, so the best way is to cooperate inside and outside.

Now Zengtou City regards us as a bandit in Liangshan, and will definitely come to Lingzhou Prefecture to invite reinforcements. At that time, the two generals will bring people into Zengtou City and should cooperate with us outside, so that we can easily wipe out this hidden force."

"We must obey the orders of our ancestors and assist us in the extermination of the spies in the Jin Kingdom." Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo said in unison with his fists.

On that day, everyone had dinner at Zhang Xinshu's house. After that, everyone chatted together for a while, and then Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo left.

Afterwards, Zhang Xinshu arranged a residence for Hua Ju, and that night Hua Ju lived in Zhang Xinshu's house.

The next morning, Zhang Xinxin got up early and asked someone to arrange breakfast. And just as he and Hua Ju were having dinner, someone suddenly came to report and someone asked for a meeting outside.

“What did you say

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Who is it?" Zhang Xinshu asked.

"It is said that it was sent by Zeng Teng City, Elder Zeng."

Zhang Xinshu looked at Hua Ju, and Hua Ju nodded slightly at him. Zhang Xinshu said, "Go and bring him in."

The servant retreated, and Hua Ju said, "I'll avoid it first."

"Please, sir."

After Hua Jue went down, Zhang Xinshu asked someone to remove all the things on the table and then sat on a chair and waited.

After a while, the servant brought in with a man. This man was Pang Tian sent by Nahezan. Because he came on foot, he was only here now.

"The villain Pang Tian pays homage to the magistrate." Pang Tian knelt down and said.

"What's wrong with you coming to see this mansion?" asked the prefect.

Pang Tian said: "There are currently Liangshan bandits leading people to attack Zengtou City. Associate teacher Su Ding was shot to death. The third son Zeng Suo was injured by arrows. More than 3,000 soldiers were killed or injured. Zengtou City is in danger. Please send troops quickly.

Reinforcement, otherwise it will be too late.”

"When did this happen?" Zhang Xinshu asked.

Pang Tian said: "The day before yesterday they sent someone to rescue the spy we caught. They started attacking Zengtou City early yesterday morning, but they were unable to attack."

"I know, so I will send someone to lead the troops to reinforce you immediately. You can go down to eat something first. After an hour, I will see me at the Dianbing Craft Site." Zhang Xinshu said.

"Thank you, sir."

Pang Tian went out under the guidance of his servants, and Hua Jue then came out. Zhang Xinshu quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Sir, it's true that Zengtou City has sent someone to ask for help as you expected."

"You should send someone to inform Shantuanlian and Weituanlian immediately, and ask them to bring five thousand elite soldiers to Zengtou City." Hua Ju said.

"yes."

Zhang Xinshu sent someone to tell Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo that they ordered five thousand elite soldiers to gather.

About half an hour later, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo came to see each other with a helmet and armor, and said, "Sir, the five thousand elite soldiers have gathered."
